Research? Pfft, nah, just email Iron Chef, he will answer any questions that would've taken me 30 seconds to find out if I only Googled first lol

can you import me a 22b?

ironchef. my friend has a VL commodore..

i've bought a 1992 Late build cefiro with an Rb25DET

but someone tells me i can't import it or something to do with the thing you have to do to install the babyseat holders.

can you makes things better me?

ahaha

on a lighter note... spoke to that guy again earlier today... luckilly for him... he's spoken to a reputable car dealer here in Perth... who i won't name...

(because if i do disclose that name - then everything gets linked up as to who did what and when bla bla bla)

but a very reputable dealer in perth has agreed to handle all brokerage, compliance... importation and other dealings regarding these cars..

so if that company is reading this - you might be able to work out who you are and who you've helped... and with any luck - know exactly how much bacon you've saved for the client in question... my hat goes off to you guys!

that said - guy was telling me this really weird other parts to his events after i asked a few questions

....i asked him if he wouldn't mind telling me how much FOB the cars were

he said - sure i'd love to tell you but i don't have a clue myself... the cars were imported thru a mate that lives in japan (hence why they thought they could do a personal import)

the "mate" has bought the three cars... and has given them to the guy... and said "you sell these in australia, make the profit... after you've sold them... i'll tell you how much i paid... and invoice you for what i paid"

so this can go one of two ways

either this person is a pathological liar who cannot tell the truth to me... (which i personally read his body language as a fibber IMO)

or

someone that lives in Japan is possibly taking someone in australia for a bit of a ride... because that sounds to me like... a very non-beleivable story...

shan,

how (I'm all for this!)??

What mail server do you run at your shop?

key words in the spam filter?

btw ftw etc...

lots of TLA's.

Or maybe something like spam-assasin could do it? dunno, havent played with it but have heard it is decent for free client side filtering.

    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
